All details have been set in place for another successful Golf Tournament. In 1998, the 1st Annual Tournament was a success with 24 foursomes. As the years went by, the tournament has grown. Now, in our 16th year, the committee has decided to cap the event at 32 foursomes. Last year we had 32 foursomes, 28 sponsors, and close to 50 items that were donated for our golfer gift bag or raffle. Overall, the tournament is a huge achievement for the Chamber. If you are interested in being a part of this years successful event, please contact melissa@nvcoc.com or call (978) 772-6976.
